Middletown Skateboard Store Moves To Downtown Red Bank

RED BANK, NJ - This Middletown store is trading Route 35 for Monmouth Street.

Feet First NJ, a skateboard shop featuring a line of hardgoods, accessories and apparel, is slated to open at 15-17 Monmouth St. in February, according to a social media post from the brand. The new store stands the site of the former Dean’s Flowers, as initially reported by The Journal NJ.

The Middletown-based skate shop has been a fixture in New Jersey since 1977, first opening in Toms River before moving sites to Monmouth County. The Middletown location shuttered on Jan. 16.

The opening date of the Red Bank location is expected to be announced via social media. You can follow Feet First NJ on Instagram and Facebook.

And for any Red Bank skaters excited to purchase new gear later this month, there is now a petition to build a skate park in the borough. As of Feb. 4, the petition (addressed to Red Bank Mayor Pasquale Menna) has over 350 signatures. You can find it here.
